DOT Manual Colony Counter for Microbiology
The DOT manual colony counter from IUL helps laboratories quickly, conveniently, and reliably count microorganism colonies on Petri dishes. Thanks to its high-quality 2x magnifying glass, adjustable LED lighting, and ergonomic design, the device simplifies manual colony counting in routine microbiological laboratory work.
The DOT is suitable for laboratory applications in microbiology, life sciences research, and microbiological quality control. Various plate adapters allow the manual colony counter to be adjusted to accommodate different Petri dish diameters. In addition, counting results can be transferred to PC applications such as Microsoft Excel or Word to facilitate documentation and further processing of the data.
Typical Applications
The DOT manual colony counter is particularly suitable for:
- Microbiological Testing in the Laboratory
- Manual counting of colonies on Petri dishes
- Minor Microbiological Quality Controls
- Life Sciences Research and Laboratory Analytics
- Laboratory Applications Using Petri Dishes of Various Diameters
The Benefits of the DOT Colony Counter at a Glance
High-quality 2x magnification
The large magnifying glass, with a lens diameter of 120 mm and 2x magnification (DIN × 2), provides a clear view of the colonies to be counted. It aids in the visual identification of microbial colonies on Petri dishes.
Simple and convenient colony counting, even for small laboratories
Colonies can be touched directly with the stainless-steel contact probe or marked on the Petri dish with a waterproof click pen. These options simplify manual counting and help identify colonies that have already been counted.
Flexible adaptation to various Petri dishes
Adapters with diameters of 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, and 150 mm are available for different plate sizes. This allows the DOT to be adapted to various requirements in the microbiology laboratory.
Data Transmission and Traceability
The count results can be exported to PC applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word. This facilitates digital documentation, further analysis, and traceability of the colony count in the laboratory.
Standard and Flexible Lighting
The bottom lighting has four selectable light intensities. Depending on the model, top lighting is also available. This allows the illumination to be adjusted to suit the specific sample and the requirements for visual colony counting.
